CyberLink PowerDirector 12.0.2923 Ultimate Portable
Katja Gains
Absolutely. You can download the software directly from the trusted CyberLink website. It does not come with any viruses or bloatware attached and poses no threat to the files or integrity of your computer.
PowerDirector is not free but offers a free 30-day trial for you to test drive the software before you buy it. Almost all of the features are available for you to use during the free trial, but all videos produced during the trial will have a watermark in the lower right-hand corner.
Upon launching the program, PowerDirector offers the user a number of options for starting a new project, as well as the option to select the aspect ratio for the video. Creating a full movie with transitions, music, and effects can be completed in just 5 steps with the Easy Editor option.
The Preview tab is where your video is automatically spliced together according to the settings and Magic Style you provided in the previous two tabs. Depending on the length of your video, it may take a few minutes for PowerDirector to get cut it altogether.
Applying effects to clips and images, like most features in PowerDirector, can be performed by clicking on the desired effect and dragging it to the desired clip. PowerDirector automatically identified the natural transitions in the video I provided it, which made it simple to apply effects to just one scene at a time without having to go in and cut up the video into different scenes on my own.
Here we can select the desired output format for the video. By default, PowerDirector suggests MPEG-4 video at 640480/24p, so you may wish to adjust this output format to a higher resolution (highlighted in the red box). I selected 19201080/30p, then clicked the Start button on the bottom of the screen to begin rendering the video.
From start to finish, the entire video creation process (not including the rendering time at the end of the project) took me just minutes to complete. Though I may have a bit more video editing experience than the average intended customer of PowerDirector 15, I believe that a user with absolutely no video editing experience whatsoever could complete this whole process in roughly the same amount of time it took me.
Newer features include various AI effects and automations. AI Body Effects lets you easily apply visual effects to moving people or objects. AI Object Detection is great at removing fixed objects from your videos. AI Sky Replacement allows you to transfer your daytime video to include a starry night sky or animated Northern Lights at the click of a button. I expected these features to be subpar and noticeable, but they are quite remarkable.
The tools are GREAT, but their Internet requirement makes it worthless. Wish I would have bought monthly and saved the one year subscription rate as I cannot edit video unless I have a robust Internet connection to verify my subscription EVERY TIME I OPEN IT.
I do a lot of videos in 4K 60fps and with 5.1 surround sound, and could not find a way to render this combination. After contacting CyberLink, they told me how to do it. Is this easy to do in other video editing programs?
I fell so much in love with powerdirector that I started my own journey and taught myself how to create Theme Designer Templates. Now I have created a software which in conjunction with a 3D software enables me to create templates like on the fly. ?
It is without question the easiest video editing program I have ever used. Designed to minimize the headaches you\u2019d have to work through learning more advanced software, PowerDirector offers a number of tools that enable users of all skill levels to easily splice together simple videos in a matter of minutes.
